To all whom it may concern:

To enable others to make and use my invention, I proceed to describe its construction and operation.

This drier consists ot eight parts-the standard, marked'A A; the pins b b, on which rests the reel, raised or lowered, as desired; the arm c, the brace d, the cords h h h, and the bub i, and the screw and nut e and reel B B B B.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of the slotted and movable arm c, the movable brace d and hub t', and the screw and nnt e, substantially as and for the purposes described.

EPHRAIM OULVER.
